Dear All

For sale is this Omega 6B/159 RAF Pilots Wristwatch c.1943

These beautiful wristwatches were issued to RAF navigators and pilots during the Second World War.

RAF watches from this period were supplied by a number of prestigious watch manufacturers including Longines, Jaeger Le-Coultre and Omega. All these watches followed a standard specification which included a white dial with black Arabic numerals, centre seconds and blued steel non-luminous hands. These watches are commonly referred to by their RAF stores reference number 6B/159. This RAF stores reference refers to aircraft navigation equipment.

The Omega 6B/159 watch for sale was produced in 1943 at the heart of WW2. The mid-case of the watch is made of stainless steel as opposed to the cheaper alloy variants of later examples, which makes it extremely desirable to vintage military watch collectors and Omega enthusiasts.

The watch is in excellent overall condition having been newly serviced by our highly skilled and experienced horologist.

The dial has aged beautifully and is in very good condition with a few minor scratches in places.

The beautiful blue steel hands and crown are all correct to the original specification of the watch.

The stainless steel outer casing has numerous scratches and marks commensurate with age. The case back has all the usual RAF issue markings.

The beautiful Omega 30T2 SC calibre movement is all correct and is in excellent condition and is currently running well and keeping good time.

The watch diameter is 32mm.
